At the heart of the iQOO 15 is Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which promises top-tier performance for apps, multitasking and gaming. The phone ships with Android 16 layered with OriginOS 6, and iQOO has also added a single-layer VC cooling solution to help keep temperatures in check during heavy use.

The display is a large, high-resolution AMOLED panel roughly 6.85 inches in size, described as a 2K+ (QHD+) screen with a very high refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gaming. The screen is tuned for vivid colors and wide gamut support, making it a strong choice for media lovers and mobile gamers.
iQOO has also focused on battery life and charging. The phone carries a very large 7,000 mAh battery and supports fast wired charging at 100 W plus 40 W wireless charging, which should offer a full day or more of use for most people and a fast top-up when needed. These battery numbers are a standout feature for a flagship device.

On cameras, the device follows a flagship formula with a triple 50-megapixel rear camera setup covering wide, ultra-wide and periscope telephoto duties and a 32-megapixel front camera for selfies. Early impressions suggest the imaging hardware is versatile and aimed at users who want both strong zoom and wide-angle performance.
Pricing leaks ahead of launch point to a base model with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage listed at about ₹72,999, while a higher 16 GB + 512 GB variant has been shown near ₹79,999.

iQOO’s India leadership has hinted at an effective launch range around ₹65,000–70,000 when early offers and bundles are taken into account, so final street prices may vary with pre-book discounts and launch promotions. Pre-booking benefits being reported include a Priority Pass, bundled iQOO TWS earbuds and an extended warranty for early buyers.
Availability is expected through iQOO’s official e-shop and major online retailers like Amazon, and India-specific launch offers could make the phone more attractive at the outset. If you value long battery life, flagship performance and a high-quality large display, the iQOO 15 looks positioned to be a strong value-for-money flagship option this season.
